Latin 2
‘Latin 2’ is designed to build on the knowledge acquired by students who have taken ‘Latin 1’, but may also be appropriate for those with some previous alternative experience (e.g. a GCSE). The module will equip you with the ability to read, comprehend, and translate basic Latin with increased speed and fluency. You will also expand your knowledge of Latin vocabulary, syntax, and grammar, thereby developing the skills necessary to tackle more complex texts. As well as thinking about best practice when translating (from Latin to English and vice versa), you will start to express your own ideas by producing creative compositions in (classical) Latin. By the end of the module, you will have been introduced to the works of multiple important Roman authors, such as Caesar, Nepos, and Vergil. We shall read and discuss suitable extracts of original texts, in the process of which you will learn critical linguistic and analytic skills that can be applied to the sources you are studying in other modules.
If you are unsure whether you meet the prerequisites for this module, please contact the module lead. -

Latin Language Stage 1A
The aim of every language course at the University is to enable you to communicate in your target language (TL) at that particular level and in your particular area of interest. We use the word ‘communicate’ in its widest sense, meaning that you will not only be able to talk to people in the language but also to develop your proficiency in listening, reading, and writing. This means that the module aims for you to understand all the things which affect communication in that language, including knowledge of how the language is used, how it works and how to analyse it, and the cultural contexts in which it is spoken. -

Law and the Human Body
Law and the Human Body investigates legal and ethical problems at the intersection of medicine, biotechnology and the law, particularly the approach of law to questions arising from the biotechnological uses of cadavers, body parts and products of the body. The module provides knowledge and understanding of how law and ethics resolve disputes relating to conflicting claims over ownership of inventions based on human body parts, and the question of entitlement to profits from such inventions; it also examines the legal protections available to a person when separated parts of their body are used without their consent; and the remedies available to living relatives when the dead are mutilated without consent. -

Law of the World Trade Organization
The World Trade Organization is a key facilitator of globalisation. It provides the legal framework for the regulation of international trade in goods and services through the pursuit of progressive reduction in barriers to trade. Underpinned by binding dispute settlement, its rules constitute a significant body of Law, the effects of which are substantial both within international trade law and beyond.
This module explores the economic rationale for the WTO, its governance, substantive rules and core principles. It also identifies, assesses and considers potential solutions to selected contemporary challenges facing the WTO. Some such challenges arise internally, for example relating to WTO decision-making and recent challenges to its dispute settlement. Further challenges are outward looking, including its relationship with other branches of international law such as international environmental and human rights law, and, increasingly, questions relating to its very legitimacy. -
